Additional Details:
This view of the new Union Station, Kansas City, shows how the express, baggage and mail is taken to and from the trains without interfering with the convenience of the public. All heavy baggage and express is brought directly to the track level of the station without crossing the plaza; which is reserved for pedestrians, motors, carriages and street railway use. Inclined roadways lead from the baggage, express and mail rooms to adjacent thoroughfares. The express annex, a portion of which is shown in the foreground, is built of concrete and is 1,000 feet in length. Between these buildings and the main structure may be seen the canopy covered carriage and motor entrance.
